Notability of Matthew Taylor Goal

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Matthew Taylor Goal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 18:19, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it met the notability guidelines.
It was later deleted at 21:02, 7 May 2007 by User:Anthony.bradbury. To have any chance of this article surviving, you will need to provide references. I also suggest changing the title to something like Longest Premiership goal to stress why it may be notable. The deleted text is here. Anything I can do to help, let me know. Jimfbleak.

Kayaköy and Babadağ

[edit]

Hi, I saw you trying to add an image to the article. What you need to do to get that to work is:

  1. upload the image onto the server first. You can do this by clicking "Upload file" on the left side of the screen - should be just above "Special pages". Give the file a meaningful name - even just something as simple as "Kayaköy 2008-09-26.jpg" or "Kayakoy 26 Sep.jpg", assuming 26 September 2008 to have been the date the image was taken, or "Kayaköy buildings.jpg". It's not a good idea to use DSC____ type filenames as they aren't useful later on - this image may well still be here a year or three years from now.
  2. Once you've uploaded the image, you can add it to the article using a tag such as [[Image:Kayaköy 2008-09-26.jpg|thumb|right|Buildings at Kayaköy]], changing the first section to match the filename you uploaded, and the last section to describe it. The text you put in will appear on the image as a caption. The "thumb|right" bit is required to make the image look correct on the article.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Good luck! And I'll look forward to seeing your images, it's an amazing part of Turkey which I have fond memories of (I'm from Australia). Orderinchaos 23:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You need to cite your sources. Where did you get this information? --Jameboy (talk) 19:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite right to be wary of copyright, as you can't just copy and paste sentences verbatim from books or websites. Presenting the same information, worded differently and citing the original source, is OK though. For statistical records I'd say it's less of a problem, as there are limited numbers of ways you could present such information. The simplest way to cite a source is to type your source info inside <ref></ref> tags, which go after the piece of information you're citing (you need to ensure that there is a {{reflist}} near the bottom of the page you're working on). Even better is to use citation templates: if you're citing a webpage, Template:Cite web can be used for example, or Template:Cite book for citing a book. Let me know if you need any further explanation. --Jameboy (talk) 19:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
